COMMENTS: The Eloy Detention Center (EDC) did not report the number of Psychiatric/Medical Cases referred for outside care
by quarter, however, they did report 1,060 referrals for medical care and 31 psychiatric referrals. There was one death reported due to
illness. Detainee Rodriguez-Torres, Felix, #b2High, b6,b7c was transported to the hospital on 12-28-06. He was pronounced dead at the
Maricopa Medical Center on 1-18-07. Rod
res, Felix died due to multiple system failures because of cancer.
b6,b7c
EDC self reported five sexual assaults during the past year. Female detainee
alleged she was assaulted
b6,b7c
b6,b7c
by female detainee
when b6,b7c inserted her finger into
vagina for approximately two minutes.
The incident was forwarded to law enforcement authorities and the prosec
d there was not enough evidence to
b6,b7c
prosecute. Detainee
was being pressured for sex by detainee
. Detainee b6,b7c
b6,b7c
b6,b7c reported the in
inees were immediately isolated and an investigation was implemented accord
policy. Three other incidents were reported as sexual assault when detainees were found kissing or fondling one another. These
actions do not meet the definition of assault in that they were not a violent act. Both detainees were willfully engaging in the act and
the reporting should be less than a sexual assault i.e., Inappropriate Contact with Another. This would ensure a more accurate
reporting of serious incidents.

EDC reported nine detainees on staff physical assaults. All nine incidents were of detainees throwing ice, water, an unknown
substance and one incident of feces onto the officers while they were feeding detainees or passing something through the food slot in
the Special Management Units.
